Chapter 670: 520 Jade-Fox Witch Pool · Gao Yang Skaya_2
"Beryl Gate!"
Matthew shouted in the direction of the voice.
There, where Beryl should have been reduced to dust by the attacks of the three Servants, he inexplicably reappeared, completely unharmed.
This should have been an impossible sight.
Under the furious attacks of the three Servants, normally, it would be impossible for a human to escape unscathed.
Compared to the Servants from various myths and legends, modern humans certainly couldn’t match up.
And Beryl was undoubtedly a human.
Even though he was a magician, in this world, those magicians who could match Servants were extremely rare.
So, it was already astounding that Beryl could sneak behind Fujimaru Ritsuka and attack without being detected, let alone escaping unscathed from the furious strikes of the three Servants, which clearly seemed implausible.
But, Beryl had done just that.
The reason was simple.
"It looks like I won’t be able to see your faces in despair, how truly unfortunate," said the stunningly beautiful fox woman with a hand on Beryl’s shoulder, her voice brimming with laughter.
Clearly, Beryl’s safe escape was all thanks to this fox woman.
"Koyanskaya!"
Da Vinci shouted the name of the woman.
"Hello, everyone from Chaldea, long time no see, how are you~~~☆"
Koyanskaya waved at them as if greeting old friends, her smile radiant, yet her eyes held no trace of humor, instead filled with coldness and malice.
"Who, who is she?"
Altoria involuntarily stepped back.
In her faerie eyes, behind the breathtakingly beautiful fox woman, there seemed to be something terribly frightening emerging, roaring at her.
It was purely— "Evil."
It was hugely— "Evil."
In front of that dense "Evil," Altoria felt as if the world woven from malevolent storms in her eyes had been overwhelmed and replaced by an even more terrifying and horrendous malevolence.
Da Vinci, not knowing what Altoria had seen, simply responded with a grim face.
"Her name is Koyanskaya, an enemy who has crossed several Lostbelts and has always been against us."
In short, she, like Beryl, was part of the forces opposing Chaldea.
She was neither a creature of Proper Human History nor a being from the Lostbelts, but something worse, more nefarious, an existence entirely against humanity.
She had also appeared in the first five Lostbelts.
So, the people of Chaldea had actually been mentally prepared to encounter Koyanskaya and Beryl, to encounter forces opposing Chaldea here.
But what they hadn’t anticipated was that she would appear in such a situation.
What enraged them the most was that not only did Koyanskaya greet them as if nothing had happened, but Beryl also raised his hand.
"Long time no see, Matthew, it’s really great to see you healthy and here."
Beryl, as if he had completely forgotten his recent actions and as if Fujimaru Ritsuka’s condition didn’t matter at all, greeted Matthew cheerfully, discarding any disbelief regarding Reiger’s Resurrection Magic.
This infuriated Matthew and made Da Vinci’s expression even darker.
"Beryl...!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, now revived, opened his eyes and, seeing this scene, seemed to prepare to struggle to his feet.
"Don’t move." Reiger held down Fujimaru Ritsuka, frowning, and said, "You’ve just been revived, and the weakness in your body hasn’t fully dissipated. You need to lie down and rest for a while."
"But..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed disinclined to listen.
But he wasn’t inclined to listen to Reiger, and Reiger wasn’t inclined to listen to him either.
"I didn’t save you to have you consent."
Saying this, Reiger placed a hand on Fujimaru Ritsuka’s forehead.
"Sleep."
This was first-tier hypnotic magic, capable of putting someone to sleep quickly.
Under the effect of this sleep magic, Fujimaru Ritsuka’s eyelids immediately began to droop uncontrollably, slowly closing.
Before long, the master who had just been resurrected fell into a deep slumber.
Reiger handed Fujimaru Ritsuka over to Da Vinci, then stood up and turned to Goyanskaia and Beryl.
"You finally decided to show up, huh?"
Reiger first glanced at Goyanskaia and then turned to Beryl, speaking indifferently.
"I thought you wouldn’t dare to show your face in front of me again, you defeated dog."
At these words, Beryl’s smile stiffened, and his expression darkened at a visibly rapid pace.
He hated being called a defeated dog more than anything.
Knowing this, Reiger had called him just that.
"Oh my, are you the prophesized child spoken of in legends?"
Goyanskaia seemed quite surprised as she looked at Reiger, scrutinizing him before scoffing loudly.
"So the prophesized child in the legends is a human? Even the foxes would laugh their teeth off at this!"
It appeared that Goyanskaia had already seen through Reiger’s true identity.
"A human?"
It was Matthew, Da Vinci, and Tristan who reacted to this revelation, casting astonished glances at Reiger.
That Reiger was human was unknown to them.
They had not thought Reiger was human either.
Because the power Reiger had just displayed was too strong, not inferior to any servant, even able to overpower most servants, including famed knights of the round table like Galahad and Tristan. In terms of sheer strength, he was superior to them.
And now they were being told that Reiger was human?
No wonder they were astounded.
Reiger himself, however, was entirely indifferent.
"I never claimed I was the child of prophecy, it’s those foolish fairies who thought so," Reiger, gazing at Goyanskaia, continued, "What? Does the fact that I am human upset you?"
"Well, after all, you exist because of humanity’s evils, as an enemy of humanity."
"In your eyes, humans are probably less than beasts, worth no more than the trash on the streets."
"So, you cannot stand to see humans strong and successful, can you?"
"Tamamo no Mae Goyanskaia."
——— ’Tamamo no Mae Goyanskaia.’
When Reiger called out this name, the smile on Goyanskaia’s face also disappeared.
"...You know my true nature?"
Goyanskaia stared at Reiger, her pupils turning into golden beast-like eyes.
"————!"
In that instant, everyone present felt an instinctive shudder.
A deep-rooted instinct screamed within them, warning them that a formidable being had been awakened.
Only Reiger remained calm and indifferent.
"I not only know your nature, but I also know exactly what you are."
Reiger looked at Goyanskaia as if she were a lamb ready for slaughter and spoke.
"Would you like me to expose all your secrets right here?"
With these words, the chilling sensation felt by everyone intensified.
Even Beryl stealthily extricated himself from Goyanskaia and quietly moved away from her.
"——— Heh."
The breathtakingly beautiful fox woman then began to laugh.
Her laugh was extraordinarily beautiful.
Her laugh was tremendously ferocious.
"I originally came here to test the performance of a new weapon, not intending to reveal my true nature or join the upcoming battle. But now, it seems necessary to demonstrate to you what ’beast’ means."
"Don’t you think?"
"Human."
A malicious storm materialized at that moment.
